>>>Hi,

>Interesting. I see that you if FIELD1 is empty you are setting value to FIELD2 twice. Do we know that VFP always processes INSERT in the exact order of how the fields are listed? That is, that the first FIELD2 will be set to empty string and then it will be set to 'val2'?
>Thank you.

It is not on VFP documentation,
but it work on this way.
VFP is dead, then no issues on next release exists.

However i suggest you to use the classic IF ELSE
